Peaceful 4 season cottage on the shores of the Petawawa River | Cottage in Petawawa
3 Bedroom Cottage in Petawawa
Our cottage is on Percy Lake, a beautiful 2.3km section of the Petawawa River that opens up between two sets of rapids. An easy 1.5 hour drive from Ottawa, it is located near some of the finest outdoor amenities in Eastern Ontario, and only ten minutes from the town of Petawawa. A great place and play no matter what the season!
The cottage is two stories, including a walk-out basement. There are three bedrooms: two small bedrooms on the main level (each with a bunk bed) and one master bedroom downstairs. The couch downstairs is also a pull-out for extra guests. There is one bathroom equipped with a shower. Kitchen is modern and has a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kettle and stove. There is a BBQ and table for outdoor dining on the deck. Water is well water and is drinkable. There is no a/c, but bedrooms have ceiling fans. The cottage has electric heat as well as a cozy wood burning stove for winter evenings. Starlink internet is provided and cellular reception is quite good.
The cottage property slopes down to the water. A wrap-around deck provides a nice view of the water. There is a small sandy entry to the water on one side of the property; the remainder of the waterfront is natural and rocky with a gradual entry. The lake water is beautifully clean and wonderful for swimming and fishing, as the Petawawa River drains straight from Algonquin Park. Because the river is blocked on either end by rapids, there is minimal boat traffic. A canoe, kayak, paddle board and lilypad floating mat are available for use. The outdoor firepit is perfect for roasting marshmallows and stargazing.
Note: There are no homes across the lake, as this area is part of the National Defence military base. The area is heavily forested and public entry is forbidden. From time to time, the military runs exercises and you may hear artillery fire and other assorted noises. The actual exercises are taking place quite a distance away. Sometimes military helicopters will fly low over the river.
